TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, EPHRAIM OULVER, of' Shelburne Falls, in the county of Franklin, and State of Mn-ssuehusotts, have invented a new and useful Machine for Cutting and Grating Fruits and Vegetables, and for Sharpening Knives and other cutlery; and do hereby declare that the following is a, full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in combining and arranging a movable drawer with :1. revolving cylinder, having several rows of teeth of unequal length, sharpened as transverse-sew teeth, and projecting from the cylinder, with another revolving cylinder having knives attached to it, and with a grindstone for sharpening knives and other cutlery, so that the operations of'eutting and grating and sharpening may be performed at one and the some time, or separately.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I now proceed to describe its construction and operation.

My machine consists of a, box marked aa a, standing upon legs, and divided into two compartments, having the revolving cylinder Z7, With knives attached, in one compartment, and the revolving cylinder 6, with the transverse-saw teeth of unequal length projecting from it, in the other compartment, and the movable drzrwerz', represented also separately, underneath, with the covers it andg nlso represented removed. By turning the wheel (2, motion is communicated through the cog-wheelsfff to the cylinders E- and c, and to the grindstone d,

so that the cylinders and grindstone revolve.

What I claim as my invention, and desired to secure by Letters Patent, is The arrangement and combination of the revolving cylinder 0, having its projecting end transverse-saw teeth of unequal length, and the cylinder b with the knives attached to it and the grindstone cl, substantially as and for the purposes described.
